Maize RP 215

Expertise in Maize Breeding

The «RP 215» maize hybrid represents a successful collaboration between the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Maize and SSK Kukuruza. This model has established its reputation as a reliable, mid-early hybrid designed specifically for commercial grain production, meeting the diverse demands of the processing sector.

Grain Quality and Industrial Application

The distinctive feature of RP 215 is its dent-type grain, which is highly valued for its physical and chemical properties. Due to its starch composition, this hybrid is an excellent raw material for:

• Cereal production, yielding a high percentage of premium fractions;
• Distilling industry, where fermentation consistency is essential;
• High-quality feed production for livestock.

Cultivation and Planting Density

To maximize the genetic yield potential of RP 215, agronomic practices should focus on density management tailored to local climate and soil conditions:

• 70,000–75,000 plants/ha in well-irrigated zones or regions with high moisture availability;
• 55,000–60,000 plants/ha in rain-fed conditions to manage water stress effectively.

RP 215 is a strategic choice for growers seeking a balance between consistent field performance and market-ready grain quality for industrial processing.
